  1. Flat towing - lights setup

    Seems like a waste to cut up the Curt harness but the wire and connectors come in handy. I would really like to install an indicator light connected to the third brake light that would be visible to me in the RV. This is to ensure that the brake is releasing properly and not dragging as some...
  2. Flat towing - lights setup

    Plan worked fine but I did not install the brake light relay. It is extremely difficult to get to the brake pedal switch and that would require a wire splice to install. I believe that turning and braking at the same time is not likely to create that much confusion as the RV will be the most...
  3. Maverick Hybrid Brakes Completely Ruined After Towed Behind RV

    Another way to monitor your battery voltage is the OBD-II scanner mentioned by BradnChristine in his earlier post discussing flat tow setup. If you leave the scanner installed and connect via bluetooth, from the rear of the coach, it will show current voltage of the battery. Mine runs about...
  4. Maverick Hybrid Brakes Completely Ruined After Towed Behind RV

    After reading all the comments about battery and brake monitoring lights, I decided to create a brake monitoring lite in the cab of my Maverick toad. I was using a camera mounted in the rear of the RV to look at the dash mounted red monitor light. As the source of the monitoring light power...
  5. Have you done any recalls?

    Any recalls on 2024 Hybrids yet?
  6. Demco Flat-Tow Setup Instructions, with comparison to Blue Ox and Roadmaster

    I saw those and considered them, but decided to use the Roadmaster kit as it includes the flat wiring and buying from eTrailer as part of the package was just easy, and I'm lazy sometimes when it comes to shopping. I also bought a separate harness that was designed for Maverick trailer towing...
  7. Flat towing - lights setup

    I bought the Roadmaster diode kit but did not want to cut into the factory wires so I purchased another wiring harness that uses the Ford Mav harness connectors (male and female). I will remove the connectors and make my own harness to include the diodes. I can then just plug the diodes into...
  8. Demco Flat-Tow Setup Instructions, with comparison to Blue Ox and Roadmaster

    Another follow up. I will be trying the aux power station method of powering the Blue Ox portable braking device. I bought a EcoFlow River 2 Pro, 768 wh power station, which has a 12v cigarette lighter port that the Blue Ox wants. I think that will provide enough juice to drive all day, plus...
  9. Demco Flat-Tow Setup Instructions, with comparison to Blue Ox and Roadmaster

    Forgot to mention I am towing with a 2023 Winnebago View (6 cylinder Mercedes Sprinter), so I will be driving very carefully as you suggest.
  10. Demco Flat-Tow Setup Instructions, with comparison to Blue Ox and Roadmaster

    Thanks for the reply and I see your point. I thought about just pulling the fuse to the brake switch, but I can't see or find a fuse on the 2024 Maverick. Another post said just pull the wire from the brake switch and leave it off while towing but then you have the problem of remembering to...

  12. Demco Flat-Tow Setup Instructions, with comparison to Blue Ox and Roadmaster

    Brad, thanks for breaking all this ground for us. I have ordered all the parts from eTrailer to install the Demco base plate and tried to get all the necessary wiring materials too. I will use the Roadmaster Nighthawk bars and the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional...
